Awwww, what a lovely ending for what should have been cracktastic, but ended up a brilliantly heart-felt character study that actually made sense. This story truly was a gift!
Mysterious gift from an anonymous giver - signed with a silver snowflake! GOSH, I WONDER WHO IT COULD HAVE BEEN.
(Hmm. It wasn't the Santa in Chapter One, was it? Because that? Would be awesome.)
I do have to wonder - what will John and Sherlock do with the birds? Because normally, I'd say that Sherlock would have PLANS for those birds (of the nefarious sort), but I think it's entirely possible that a combination of John, Mrs Hudson, and sentiment won't let him implement them!
Fantastic ending to a fantastic fic. Quick little ficlet, my hat. I think you wanted an excuse to keep using your Egg Nog John icon.
I wonder another thing, too - is Sherlock ever going to realize that Violet was playing him, by demanding a boyfriend? Or is he going to pretend that he doesn't know because otherwise he'd have to thank her? (And for that matter, what's going to happen next Christmas?
”…so we won't need gifts like this fic as much.” Oh yes we will !!!!
”“Father Christmas,” scoffed Sherlock. “That’s impossible.” “Oh, I don’t know. I got everything I asked for this year.” John smiled at Sherlock fondly.”
He (they) most certainly did - and so did I! It’s been a very inventive story, I’ve enjoyed every word and I wish you a good night and Merry Christmas, too - it’s been wonderful to share, no matter how long you may feel it’s taken - it was worth every second you took to write.
And since I didn't even manage to comment on the previous chapter before this one was posted: FINALLY! THEY MADE IT! And thank the heavens for Violet Holmes. These boys needed a serious smack across the head.
